PREFACE 


This  is  THE  NEW  '1001  PLACES  TO  SELL  MANU- 
SCRIPTS." It  is  the  1922  edition,  made  up  from  the 
most  complete  material  available  at  the  time  of  going 
to  press.  Changes  occur  constantly  in  the  publishing 
world  and  it  is  always  a  question  how  we  may  best  keep 
the  information  regarding  the  same  up-to-date.  We 
have  decided  that  the  most  practical  method  will  be  to 
publish  frequent  new  editions,  and  perhaps  from  time 
to  time  to  supplement  these  with  a  list  of  changes  to 
be  mailed  at  a  merely  nominal  cost  to  purchasers  of  the 
book.  Lists  of  purchasers  are  always  kept  on  file  so  that 
we  may  advise  them  when  new  editions  or  supplemen- 
tary lists  are  available. 

A  good  many  years  ago  the  publisher  of  this  volume 
compiled  the  first  edition  (under  the  more  modest  title  of 
"500  Places  to  Sell  Manuscripts")  of  this  manual,  which 
later  grew  to  be  "1001  Places  to  Sell  Manuscripts." 
The  present  volume  is  based  upon  ten  previous  editions. 
For  twenty  years  it  has  been  recognized  as  the  standard 
guide  to  the  literary  market. 

In  recent  editions  it  has  somewhat  outgrown  its  origi- 
nal purpose.  There  has  been,  apparently,  a  striving  in 
this  and  other  similar  manuals,  to  list  a  great  number  of 
publications  without  sufficient  regard  to  the  fact  that 
the  entire  list  was  presumed,  by  the  purchasers  of  the 
book,  to  be  a  known  market  for  some  class  of  literary 
material.  In  resuming  control  of  this  work  it  has  been 
the  purpose  of  the  compilers  of  the  present  edition  to 
place  before  writers  a  reliable  list  of  publications  that 


6         THE  NEW  JOOl  PLACES  TO  SELL  MANUSCRIPTS 

buy  manuscripts.  We  do  not  claim  that  it  is  absolutely 
complete,  for  there  are  constant  changes  in  the  publish- 
ing world  and  no  list  compiled  today  will  be  entirely 
complete  tomorrow.  And  there  are  some  publications 
which  buy  an  occasional  manuscript  that  are  not  included 
here,  as  they  are  not  of  sufficient  importance  to  war- 
rant us  in  advising  writers  generally  to  send  them 
contributions. 

Very  easily,  our  list  could  have  contained  thousands 
of  additional  titles.  But  the  majority  of  these  would 
have  been  misleading  to  writers  because  they  are  not 
markets;  they  do  not  buy;  and  it  would  be  contrary  to 
the  name  and  purpose  of  this  work  to  list  such.  This 
volume  is  compiled  for  the  purpose  of  being  a  direct 
aid  to  the  general  writer  who  wishes  to  sell  manuscripts 
—  not  for  the  one  who  is  writing  for  glory  and  who  will 
give  his  work  away  if  he  can  find  an  editor  who  will 
print  it. 

In  this  volume  the  list  of  general  publications  has 
been  made  full  and  comprehensive.  Among  these  are  the 
buyers  of  fiction — both  short  stories  and  serials — essays, 
articles  (information,  travel,  illustrated,  etc.),  verse  and 
general  magazine  miscellany. 

Special  attention  has  been  given  to  certain  other 
departments  which  cover  a  wide  range  and  use  a  con- 
siderable amount  of  material,  such  as  the  religious  (includ- 
ing the  religious  juvenile)  publications  and  the  trade 
journals. 

The  religious  publications,  while  not  as  a  rule  paying 
very  largely  for  their  material,  afford  a  market  which 
beginning  writers  would  do  well  to  cultivate.  The 
material  accepted  by  these  is  not,  of  necessity,  wholly 
of  a  religious  cast,  but  should,  of  course,  be  of  a  highly 
moral  tone.  Stories,  serials,  household  and  domestic 


PREFACE  7 

articles,  articles  of  information,  anecdotes,  poetry,  all 
are  used.  Often,  if  a  writer  can  give  the  material  wanted, 
a  more  or  less  permanent  connection  can  be  made  with 
these  journals. 

The  trade  journals  constitute  a  literary  field  by  them- 
selves. The  trade  to  which  a  certain  journal  is  devoted 
will  indicate  largely  the  class  of  material  wanted.  All 
of  these,  unless  the  columns  are  filled  entirely  by  the 
staff,  buy  items  of  news,  and  descriptive  articles  of  infor- 
mation pertaining  to  the  particular  trade.  Most  of  them 
use  stories,  anecdotes  and  verse,  having  perferably  some 
application  to  the  trade  to  which  the  journal  is  devoted. 
Many  of  them  use  trade  or  business  stories,  for  which 
good  prices  are  paid. 

It  is  especially  desirable  that  a  writer  should  see  and 
study  carefully  one  or  more  copies  of  any  trade  journal 
to  which  he  intends  to  offer  work.  Usually  it  would  be 
well  to  correspond  with  the  editor,  to  ascertain  if  he 
desires  material  of  the  specific  sort  which  the  writer  can 
offer. 

Very  many  writers  find  the  trade  journals  afford  them 
a  profitable  "side  line."  Those  who  intend  to  follow  up 
this  work  will  do  well  to  obtain  a  copy  of  Mr.  Frank  Far- 
rington's  book,  "Writing  for  the  Trade  Press"  (Published 
by  James  Knapp  Reeve,  Franklin,  Ohio,  price  $1.00), 
as  Mr.  Farrington  is  probably  the  best  known  and  most 
successful  man  in  this  line  of  work  in  the  country. 

Not  so  much  attention  had  been  given  to  the  photo- 
play producers  as  some  might  consider  desirable.  Inter- 
ested parties  have  striven  to  create  a  false  and  erroneous 
impression  regarding  the  rewards  to  be  obtained  in  this 
field  of  endeavor.  The  fact  is,  that  the  amateur  or 
untrained  scenario  writer  has  but  a  small  chance  of 
selling  his  wares.  Most  of  the  photoplays  produced  are 


8         THE  NEW  1001  PLACES  TO  SELL  MANUSCRIPTS 

worked  up  from  material  already  printed,  are  prepared 
by  specialists  to  order,  or  are  written  by  trained  crafts- 
men for  some  special  player.  The  best  thing  that  the 
general  writer  can  do  is  to  write  as  good  a  story  as  possible, 
sell  it  to  the  best  publication  that  he  can,  and  then,  if  it 
is  fortunate  enough  to  attract  the  attention  of  a  pro- 
ducer, arrangements  can  be  made  for  the  picture  rights. 

*  *  *  *  * 

No  publication  of  this  sort  can  be  absolutely  correct. 
Changes  take  place  daily  in  the  publishing  field.  Publi- 
cations die;  others  are  born.  Some  of  the  latter  have 
but  a  fleeting  existence. 

Letters  suggesting  additions  to,  or  changes  from  the 
list  herein  given,  corrections,  or  additional  information  will 
always  be  welcomed  and  will  be  promptly  acknowledged. 

Writers  have  always  been  interested  to  know  if  a 
manuscript  submitted  to  one  of  a  number  of  magazines 
issued  by  a  publishing  company  is  considered  for  this 
concern's  other  publications.  The  custom  in  this  regard 
varies.  The  Frank  A.  Munsey  Company  determines 
in  one  reading  the  availability  of  each  manuscript  for 
all  of  its  publications,  having  a  central  reading  bureau. 
Street  and  Smith  maintain  separate  editorial  depart- 
ments for  each  of  their  publications,  so  that  a  manuscript 
should  be  directed  to  the  editorial  department  of  the 
publication  to  which  it  seems  suited.  But  if  a  manu- 
script, submitted  to  one  of  the  Street  and  Smith  publi- 
cations which  proves  unavailable  for  that  magazine, 
seems  adapted  to  one  of  the  other  magazines  of  "the 
house,"  it  is  referred  for  consideration  to  the  editor  of 
that  magazine.  Manuscripts  submitted  to  Holland's 
Magazine  or  to  Texas  Farm  and  Ranch  are  considered 
at  once  for  both  publications.  The  Butterick  publica- 
tions, Everybody's  Magazine,  Adventure,  The  Delineator 


PREFACE  9 

and  the  Designer  are  edited  by  separate  staffs.  The  Sat- 
urday Evening  Post,  The  Ladies'  Home  Journal  and 
the  Country  Gentleman,  published  by  the  Curtis  Pub- 
lishing Company,  are  under  the  direction  of  different 
editors.  The  Woman's  Home  Companion,  Collier's 
Weekly,  The  American  Magazine  and  Farm  and  Fireside, 
controlled  by  the  Crowell  Publishing  Company,  are 
edited  by  separate  organizations.  The  Century  Maga- 
zine and  St.  Nicholas,  though  both  are  published  by  the 
Century  Company,  naturally  have  no  editorial  con- 
nection. Manuscripts  are  considered  at  one  time  for 
The  Red  Book  and  The  Blue  book,  but  each  manuscript 
should  be  addressed  to  the  magazine  to  which  it  seems 
best  adapted.  The  Hearst  Magazines,  The  Cosmopoli- 
tan, Good  Housekeeping,  Hearst's  Magazine  (formerly 
The  World  To-day),  Harper's  Bazar,  Motor  and  Motor 
Boating,  are  edited  separately.  The  Orange  Judd  week- 
lies, The  Northwest  Farmstead,  Orange  Judd  Farmer, 
American  Agriculturist,  Southern  Farming  and  New 
England  Homestead,  are  edited,  in  the  main,  from  the 
central  office  at  Springfield,  Mass.,  but  distinctively  local 
material  should  be  sent  to  the  journal  which  circulates  hi 
the  section  of  the  country  treated.  Short  Stories,  The 
World's  Work,  Country  Life  and  The  Garden  Magazine, 
which  have  the  imprint  of  Doubled  ay,  Page  and  Company, 
are  under  the  care  of  separate  editorial  staffs.  The  David 
C.  Cook  Company,  of  Elgin,  111.,  has  individual  editors 
for  each  of  its  many  publications,  so  that  manuscripts 
should  be  directed  to  the  magazines  for  which  intended. 
Most  of  the  companies  that  control  a  number  of  religious 
publications  have  an  editor  for  each  publication.  But  a 
manuscript  unavailable  for  one  publication  of  a  group, 
suited  to  another  publication  of  the  same  group,  usually 
will  be  referred  to  the  proper  editor.

12       THE  NEW  1001  PLACES  TO  SELL  MANUSCRIPTS 

has  been  to  get  a  practical  working  manual  for  writers. 
There  are  more  than  thirty  thousand  newspapers  and 
periodicals  published  in  the  United  States.  Several 
thousand  of  these  occasionally  pay  some  contributor 
for  an  article;  but  it  would  be  misleading  to  list  among 
"places  to  sell  manuscripts"  a  publication  that  only 
now  and  then  will  buy  an  article  of  some  particular  sort. 
Writers  would  spend  more  money  upon  the  postage  in 
sending  articles  that  could  not  possibly  be  used,  than  the 
publication  would  pay  out  for  purchased  material  in 
the  course  of  a  year. 

Nor  have  we  thought  it  worth  while  to  include  the 
names  of  publications  of  whose  needs  nothing  definite 
can  be  learned  by  correspondence  with  the  editors.  We 
prefer  to  take  it  for  granted  that  such  do  not  care  to 
be  troubled  with  unsolicited  manuscripts  and  that 
authors  can  form  no  profitable  connection  with  these 
journals. 

Neither  has  it  seemed  advisable  to  name  publications 
which  avowedly  do  not  pay  for  contributions,  for  this 
is  a  list  of  places  to  sell,  not  of  places  not  to  sell. 

There  are  other  manuals  that  include  more  titles  than 
we  have  given  here,  but  there  is  none  that  will  prove  so 
practical  a  working  guide  to  the  writer  who  wishes  to 
form  profitable  connections  with  journals  of  good  stand- 
ing only.

and  the  list  has  been  compiled  with  special  reference  to 
the  market  for  short  stories.  The  best  markets  for 
general  articles  will  also  be  found  here.  Included  also, 
are  some  publications  that  are  recognized  as  leaders  or 
standard  in  certain  defined  or  limited  fields;  and  a  few 
new  publications  that  give  promise  of  permanence.

Wants  stories  that  move  quickly  and  that  are  free  from 
padding  and  fine  writing.  Must  be  wholesome. 


14       THE  NEW  1001  PLACES  TO  SELL  MANUSCRIPTS 

ADVENTURE,  Spring  and  Macdougal  Sts.,  New 
York:  Thrice  monthly.  Stories  of  action,  told  simply 
and  clearly.  Humor,  tragedy  and  pathos,  but  not  stories 
that  are  morbid.  The  sex  question  and  the  supernatural 
are  barred.  Does  not  want  psychological  or  "problem 
stories."  Desires  especially  stories  of  adventures  in 
business  or  finance.  Uses  serials  and  complete  novels 
from  35,000  words  up.  Fiction  of  any  length  up  to 
100,000  words.  Aims  to  reach  not  only  the  general 
reader,  but  the  cultured  and  intelligent  reader  in  his 
lighter  moments.  Particularly  wants  stories  in  which 
the  characters  seem  like  very  real  people  and  the  reader 
can  "believe  it  happened."  Verse. 

AINSLEE'S  MAGAZINE,  79  Seventh  Ave.,  New  York: 
Monthly.  Always  wants  love  stories.  Uses  good  adven- 
ture fiction,  but  it  must  have  considerable  literary  merit. 
Fantastic  stories  used  if  extremely  well  written.  Uses 
a  complete  novel  in  each  number.  As  a  rule  requires 
dramatic  situations.  Any  setting  is  allowable,  provided 
the  principal  characters  are  modern  Americans,  but 
there  is  always  a  demand  for  Western  stories.  Does 
not  want  tragedy.  No  good  fiction  barred  on  account 
of  theme  except  ghost  stories,  but  all  work  should  have 
feminine  interest.  Verse. 

ALL-STORY  ARGOSY,  280  Broadway,  New  York: 
Weekly.  Uses  all  kinds  of  fiction,  preferably  stories 
with  strong  dramatic  values  and  plenty  of  action.  Love 
and  adventure,  of  course,  are  supreme.  The  action  of 
the  stories  must  develop  swiftly.  Occasionally  uses 
fantastic  stories,  but  none  with  supernatural  element 
that  cannot  be  explained  —  unless  the  story  is  to  be 
regarded  as  a  purely  imaginative  tale.  Short  stories 


STANDARD  MAGAZINES  16 

may  run  from  1,000  to  10,000  words.  Novelette  or  novel 
to  be  used  in  a  single  number,  15,000  to  50,000  words. 
Longer  stories  are  used  as  serials.  Does  not  care  for 
dialect  stories,  and  all  themes  are  barred  that  offend 
good  taste. 

\ 

ALL'S  WELL,  Fayetteville,  Ark.:  Monthly.  A  jour- 
nal of  rather  advanced  character.  Uses  fiction,  but  the 
editor  advises  us  that  he  is  not  interested  in  happy  end- 
ing stories,  nor  in  fantastic,  Wild  West  stuff,  but  holds 
pretty  closely  to  a  line  considering  studies  in  which  men 
wrestle  with  life  problems.  Uses  a  considerable  amount 
of  good  verse  distinctly  original  in  tone. 

N 

AMERICAN  MAGAZINE,  381  Fourth  Ave.,  New 
York:  Monthly.  Uses  short  stories,  serials,  novels. 
Uses  love,  adventure,  fantastic  fiction  of  every  locality. 
Any  dialect  will  be  considered,  but  the  preference  is  for 
none.  Strong  plot,  swift  action,  literary  polish  and 
artistic  handling  are  essential.  Uses  both  society  and 
tragic  stories.  No  themes  are  barred.  Uses  both  illus- 
trated and  unillustrated  articles,  which  deal  with  prom- 
inent people,  oddities  of  life,  science,  current  life,  or 
topics  of  importance  to  readers.  It  welcomes  suggestions 
for  articles.  For  its  department,  "Interesting  People," 
material  to  find  ready  acceptance  should  be  accompanied 
by  photograph  of  the  subject  showing  him  or  her  at  work 
or  at  play  —  anything  else  in  fact  than  the  usual  "head 
and  shoulders"  photo. 

ART  &  DECORATION,  50  West  47th  St.,  New  York: 
Monthly.  Uses  a  wide  range  of  material  on  the  Arts, 
Decoration,  Dress,  etc. 


16       THE  NEW  1001  PLACES'  TO  SELL  MANUSCRIPTS 

ASIA,  627  Lexington  Ave.,  New  York:  Monthly. 
Articles  (preferably  illustrated)  and  good  short  fiction, 
pertaining  to  the  life,  arts,  industries  and  pursuits  of 
Asiatic  countries. 

<  ATLANTIC  MONTHLY,  8  Arlington  St.,  Boston: 
Monthly.  The  variety  and  scope  of  the  contents  of 
The  Atlantic  preclude  making  any  very  definite  state- 
ment in  regard  to  editorial  requirements.  Other  things 
being  equal,  The  Altantic  endeavors  to  set  as  high  a 
standard  of  literary  perfection  in  its  contributions  as 
possible.  The  Atlantic  prints  each  month  from  twenty 
to  twenty-five  contributions,  embracing  articles  on  poli- 
tics, science,  art,  and  literature;  sketches,  short  stories, 
and  poems.  The  standards  of  the  magazine  are  high 
as  regards  both  substance  and  form.  To  be  acceptable, 
an  article  must  be  authoritative  in  matter,  and  of  dis- 
tinction in  manner.  The  editors  call  especial  attention 
to  the  Contributors'  Club  as  a  department  particularly 
hospitable  to  young  writers.  For  this  department,  brief 
and  pointed  papers  of  reflection,  whimsicality,  or  social 
satire  will  be  welcomed. 

BALTIMORE  AND  OHIO  MAGAZINE,  Baltimore, 
Md.:  Monthly.  Good  railroad  stories  (fiction)  and 
efficiency  articles. 

BLACK  CAT,  Highland  Falls,  New  York:  Monthly 
Very  short  stories  only. 

BLACK  MASK,  25  W.  45th  St.,  New  York:  Monthly. 
Uses  short  stories  of  any  length,  and  novelettes  up  to 
20,000  words.  Serials  75,000  to  80,000  words.  No 
"horror"  stories,  or  ghost  stories.  Detective  and  mystery 
stories  preferred.  Stories  of  love,  romance  and  mystery 
also  used. 


v  Bl 


STANDARD  MAGAZINES  17 


BLUE  BOOK,  36  So.  State  Street,  Chicago,  111.: 
Monthly.  Love  stories  always  desired,  as  are  adven- 
ture stories  with  love  interest;  little  use  for  the  fantastic; 
no  serials,  storiettes  nor  anecdotes.  Uses  novels  of  from 
20,000  to  30,000  words,  with  love  and  mystery  elements, 
and  an  American  setting.  Dialect  is  not  often  used 
and  tragedy  never.  Society  fiction  not  particularly 
desired.  Bars  themes  founded  upon  marital  infelicity 
and  liquor.  Likes  themes  dealing  with  honesty,  fidelity, 
earnestness,  etc.;  prefers  stories  of  young  men  and  women 
activities,  but  any  story  of  interest  may  be  available. 
No  articles  used.  No  verse  used. 

BOOKMAN,  244  Madison  Avenue,  New  York: 
Monthly.  The  leading  publication  devoted  wholly  to 
the  art  of  literature.  Uses  special  articles  dealing  with 
literature,  literary  topics,  and  with  writers.  Miscellany 
dealing  with  books,  and  literary  gossip.  Occasionally 
short  fiction  of  original  character  and  high  quality.

read  with  a  view  to  its  adaptability  to  any  of  the  group;

Women's  and 
Household  Publications 


There  are  not  many  classes  of  publications  which  afford 
the  writer  so  wide  an  opportunity  as  do  the  Women's  and 
Household  magazines.  These  use  the  greatest  variety  of 
material,  including  serial  stories  and  short  stories  of  all 
lengths,  articles  of  general  interest,  articles  of  special 
interest  to  women,  articles  of  general  information,  de- 
scriptive and  personal  articles,  and  those  devoted  to 
fashion  and  dress.  Many  of  them  have  departments  in 
which  they  feature  special  lines  of  work.  Many  have 
juvenile  departments,  in  which  they  use  stories,  and 
material  of  general  interest  and  value  to  younger  readers. 
Many  of  them  pay  very  well  indeed  for  acceptable  work, 
while  others,  having  a  limited  circulation  or  confined  to 
a  somewhat  limited  field,  pay  only  moderately. 

It  is  probably  more  easy  to  secure  a  definite  connec- 
tion with  household  journals  than  with  almost  any  other 
class.  If  a  writer  furnished  good,  attractive  material, 
such  an  one  is  very  apt  to  be  kept  in  mind  by  the  editor 
so  that  other  offerings  will  receive  favorable  considera- 
tion. The  material  published  in  one  journal  of  this 
class  will  attract  the  attention  of  other  editors,  and  thus 
a  writer  who  shows  ability  to  do  the  work  needed  in  this 
field  is  able  to  broaden  his  scope  and  connection  more 
easily  than  elsewhere. 

AMERICAN  COOKERY,  221  Columbus  Ave.,  Boston, 
Mass.:  Monthly.  Uses  an  occasional  story  and  practi-

RELIGIOUS   PUBLICATIONS 


The  religious  press  as  a  whole  affords  a  considerable 
field  for  the  writer.  In  the  various  adult  and  juvenile 
publications  of  the  different  churches  a  large  amount  of 
miscellaneous  material  is  used;  not  only  such  as  directly 
pertains  to  church  and  religious  affairs,  or  that  is  of  a 
distinctly  religious  nature,  but  also  miscellany  adapted 
to  the  church,  home  and  family. 

With  many  publications  this  includes  fiction,  both  short 
stories  and  serials.  With  some  this  fiction  must  be  of  a 
distinctly  moral  or  religious  nature  inculcating  some 
definite  truth  or  lesson;  with  others  it  may  be  merely 
good,  wholesome  story  telling.  Many  of  the  adult 
church  publications  have  a  juvenile  department  in  which 
is  used  little  stories  for  little  people,  articles  of  information 
told  in  an  interesting  manner,  and  verse  for  children. 
The  majority  of  the  publications  for  both  young  and  old 
uses  verse  to  some  extent. 

While,  as  we  have  said,  there  is  here  a  considerable 
field  for  the  writer,  it  is  not  always  a  highly  profitable 
field.  Many  church  journals  expect  gratuitous  contri- 
butions, for  the  good  of  the  cause;  others  pay  upon  a 
definite  but  not  very  liberal  scale;  while  a  few  may  be 
ranked  as  really  profitable  markets. 

It  is  often  well  for  a  young  writer  to  secure  a  con- 
nection with  journals  of  this  class,  even  though  the  money 
reward  may  not  be  very  great.  They  secure  often  the 
advantage  of  editorial  advice,  comment  and  direction, 

57 


68       THE  NEW  1001  PLACES  TO  SELL  MANUSCRIPTS 

and  have  the  advantage  of  seeing  their  work  in  print 
and  so  are  enabled  to  get  a  viewpoint  on  their  own  pro- 
ductions which  can  be  had  in  no  other  way. 

As  a  rule,  the  junior  church  publications  and  the 
Sunday  School  papers  pay  better  prices  than  the  journals 
for  adult  readers.  An  illustration  of  this  may  be  found 
in  the  David  C.  Cook  Company,  which  is  always,  not 
only  just  but  generous  and  helpful  toward  all  contribu- 
tors to  their  various  publications.

BOYS'  WORLD,  Elgin,  111:  An  eight  page  weekly  Sun- 
day School  paper  for  boys  in  their  teens.  It  is  in  the 
market  for  the  following  kinds  of  manuscript:  Stories 
of  from  1,200  to  2,400  words  in  length.  These  should 
deal  with  modern  boys  and  teem  with  adventure  and 
heroism.  They  may  tell  of  adventures  at  sea,  in  Arctic 
regions,  in  great  caverns,  on  deserted  islands,  in  Central 
America,  Africa,  or  wherever  the  spectacular  or  myster- 
ious in  nature  is  manifest,  or  where  there  is  opportunity 
for  exploration  or  adventure.  Stories  of  boys  connected 
with  some  great  construction  enterprise,  such  as  the 
Panama  Canal,  building  of  the  railroad  from  Cape  Town 
to  Cairo,  etc.;  boys'  adventures  with  aeroplanes,  sub- 
marine boats,  or  mystery  stories  in  which  the  explana- 
tion is  made  in  the  last  paragraphs,  are  also  desired. 
Stories  must  not  be  goody-goody,  but  they  should  have 
an  underlying  teaching.  They  should  not  be  sensational. 
The  purpose  should  be  something  other  than  merely  to 
entertain.  Short  articles  (from  50  to  600  words  in 
length)  of  interest  to  boys,  that  tell  of  latest  inventions 
and  discoveries,  of  striking  events  to  arouse  boys'  curi- 
osity, boy  heroes,  boys  who  have  won  success,  etc.  Photos 
of  popular  science  and  news  subjects  with  short  descrip- 
tions are  considered.  Also  instructions  for  constructing 
objects  boys  are  interested  in  making.  Short  anecdotes 
involving  boy  characters  and  making  some  point;  also 
short  talks  with  boys  about  their  problems  are  avail- 
able. Feature  articles  (800  to  900  words  in  length) 
that  tell  of  some  wonderful  new  invention,  event,  enter- 
prise, etc.,  of  special  interest  to  boys.  These  may  be 
illustrated  by  one  to  three  photographs.

articles  written  by  well-informed  agricultural  people 
based  upon  direct  observation — that  is  to  say,  if  a  farmer 
or  an  agricultural  college  man  is  a  neighbor  or  knows 
of  someone  doing  something  good  along  agricultural  lines, 
and  if  he  goes  to  this  person  and  gets  his  experience 
direct,  and  embodies  it  in  a  story,  it  is  considered  first 
class  'stuff;'  third,  for  household  department,  which  is 
not  considered  technical,  it  accepts  stories,  sometimes 
long,  sometimes  short,  personal  experiences  of  women

EDUCATIONAL  JOURNALS 


We  give  herewith  a  brief  list  of  educational  journals, 
the  majority  of  which  at  least  make  some  compensation 
for  accepted  manuscripts.  As  a  rule,  however,  educa- 
tional journals  have  rather  a  limited  circulation  and 
consequently  are  not  able  to  pay  very  liberally  for  mate- 
rial. Many  of  them  expect  contributions  gratis,  for  "the 
good  of  the  cause." 

In  submitting  work  to  the  educational  publications  it 
should  be  borne  in  mind  that  everything  should  be  of  a 
strictly  practical  and  informative  nature,  such  as  will 
help  teachers  in  their  school  room  work,  or  help  solve 
problems  of  administration,  etc.  The  exception  to  this 
is  that  several  of  them  use  material  for  the  little  folks 
in  the  way  of  very  short  stories,  verse,  playlets,  etc., 
with  which  teachers  in  the  primary  grades  may  keep 
their  charges  interested.

PHOTO-PLAY  JOURNALS 


These  do  not  furnish  a  very  wide  market  for  the  gen- 
eral writer  or  miscellaneous  contributor;  much  of  the 
work  used  by  them  is  of  a  professional  or  highly  special- 
ized nature,  or  is  material  that  in  the  nature  of  things 
can  be  prepared  only  by  those  acquainted  with  the  actual 
work  and  people  of  the  theatre  and  the  screen. 

Many  of  the  publications  use  personality  articles 
with  illustrative  material  that  will  help  to  make  the 
readers  know  more  intimately  actors,  playwriters,  and 
others  connected  with  the  screen  and  the  drama;  and 
articles  describing  the  work  of  production,  life  in  the 
studios,  and  news  items  of  happenings  in  the  moving 
picture  field. 

A  few  use  short  stories  dealing  preferably  with  the 
drama  or  moving  picture  life,  and  short  stories  and  verse 
with  the  same  angle. 

As  we  do  not  consider  this  as  a  whole  a  very  profitable 
field  for  the  general  writer  we  offer  the  following  merely 
as  a  suggestive  list,  and  would  advise  a  careful  study  of 
each  publication  before  sending  any  manuscripts  for 
acceptance.

PHOTO-PLAY  MARKETS 


There  is  no  branch  of  the  writing  craft  regarding 
which  so  much  misinformation  has  been  sent  broadcast, 
as  the  writing  of  scenarios  for  moving  picture  producers. 
Preposterous  stories  have  been  told,  from  the  very  first 
launching  of  screen  productions,  as  to  the  prices  paid 
for  scenarios  and  the  fortunes  that  were  to  be  earned 
even  by  the  unpracticed  and  untrained  writer.  The 
consequence  has  been  that  thousands  and  thousands  of 
manuscripts  —  indifferent,  bad,  and  worse  —  have  been 
produced  by  writers  of  all  grades,  and  by  many  who  only 
thought  they  were  writers,  and  thrown  in  volume  at  the 
heads  of  producers.  The  deluge  has  been  so  great  that  in 
many  offices  little  attempt  has  been  made  to  read  these. 
In  others  a  hasty  —  and  hopeless  —  examination  has 
been  given  them. 

Many  writers  have  had  an  erroneous  impression  regard- 
ing the  sort  of  material  wanted  and  the  form  in  which  the 
script  should  be  prepared.  Ordinary,  purposeless  stories 
will  not  make  attractive  pictures.  Features  that 
are  outstanding  in  an  emotional  and  dramatic  way  are 
absolutely  necessary  to  the  successful  moving  picture. 
Detailed  description  of  the  setting  of  scenes,  the  appear- 
ance of  the  characters,  costumes,  furnishings,  etc.,  are 
unnecessary.  Get  the  story  itself  as  plainly  and  briefly 
as  possible  before  the  scenario  reader.  If  it  appeals, 
the  producer  has  all  the  machinery  for  working  out  the 
details  more  effectively  than  can  be  done  by  the  writer. 

Comparatively  few  amateur  or  general   writers  can 

113 


114      THE  NEW  1001  PLACES  TO  SELL  MANUSCRIPTS 

produce  an  acceptable  picture-play.  Most  of  them  are 
now  written  by  salaried  experts,  or  by  writers  specially 
selected  to  produce  a  picture  for  a  certain  actor,  or  they 
are  worked  up  from  published  material.  If  you  have  a 
story  that  you  think  will  make  a  play,  write  it  out  as  a 
story  in  the  best  manner  possible,  and  then  sell  it  to  a 
good  publication.  If  it  has  picture  value,  it  will  probably 
attract  the  attention  of  some  producer,  and  ther  the 
rights  can  be  sold  him. 

It  would  be  well  for  intending  writers  to  correspond 
with  the  companies  before  offering  manuscripts.  Tell 
them  what  you  have  to  offer  —  very  briefly  —  and 
endeavor  to  ascertain  what  they  want.  But  keep  in 
mind  that  if  you  do  not  have  a  story  that  is  good  enough 
to  sell  to  some  good  periodical,  the  chances  are  all  against 
it  for  a  picture-play. 

New  producing  concerns,  and  alleged  buyers  are  start- 
ing up  almost  daily,  and  many  writers  have  had  unsat- 
isfactory experiences  with  these  temporary  people.  We 
do  not  encourage  writers  to  experiment  along  this  line 
of  work,  for  we  know  the  results  to  be  often  most  unsat- 
isfactory. 

Following  is  given  a  short  list  of  the  more  reliable 
concerns  that  buy  material  for  moving  picture  plays. 
We  say  "material"  advisedly,  for  times  and  customs 
change,  and  few  producers  care  now  to  examine  the 
elaborately  worked-out  "Scenario"  upon  which  writers 
not  long  ago  were  spending  much  hard  labor.  The  only 
thing  necessary  in  submitting  a  script  is  to  tell  briefly  and 
definitely  the  story.  If  the  story  is  there,  and  it  can  be 
made  available,  the  studio  experts  will  put  it  into  shape. 
But  we  wish  to  sound  a  word  of  caution  against  hopes 
that  cannot  be  realized.

SYNDICATES 
AND  SYNDICATING 


There  is  a  constant  demand  from  all  classes  of  writers 
for  information  regarding  syndicates,  and  the  possi- 
bilities of  syndicating  (and  the  remuneration  therefrom) 
of  all  sorts  of  literary  material  —  fiction,  articles,  verse, 
humor.  It  seems  at  times  as  though  writers  were  pos- 
sessed with  the  idea  that  connection  with  a  syndicate 
would  be  the  one  quick  and  certain  road  to  fame  and 
fortune. 

A  good  deal  of  misinformation  about  this  work  has 
been  broadcasted.  Twenty  years  ago  there  were  a  few 
syndicates  which  purchased  liberally  all  classes  of  what 
may  be  called  magazine  material,  and  built  up  clienteles 
of  publications  which  would  use  a  certain  amount  of 
material  under  contract  for  a  certain  time.  Such 
arrangements  enabled  the  syndicates  to  offer  a  compara- 
tively stable  markets  to  writers. 

During  recent  years  this  work  has  undergone  a  consid- 
erable revolution.  There  are  now  two  classes  of  syndi- 
cates —  with  a  third  adjunct  which  will  be  mentioned  fur- 
ther on.  The  two  classes  are: 

First:  Established  syndicating  concerns  which  buy 
material  and  re-sell  to  newspapers,  much  in  the  old  man- 
ner mentioned  above:  the  class  of  material  used  has, 
however,  been  subject  to  much  alteration.  The  stories 
now  purchased  are  mainly  very  short  ones  —  1,000  words 
or  less;  items  and  paragraphs  of  interest  to  women,  which 

119 


120      THE  NEW  1001  PLACES  TO  SELL  MANUSCRIPTS 

may  be  put  under  an  especial  heading  and  made  to  appear 
as  a  "feature"  -500  words  or  less;  little  articles  upon 
events  and  topics  of  the  day;  little  sermons  or  moral 
essays  put  into  original  form  to  catch  the  attention  of 
"the  man  in  the  street;"  stories  for  small  children;  rhymes 
and  jingles. 

All  of  this  material  is  demanded  in  short  and  compact 
form,  preferably  to  occupy  not  more  than  five  or  six 
hundred  words  of  space;  and  preferably  so  arranged  that 
it  may  run  in  a  series  or  as  a  continuing  feature. 

Compensation  is  made  in  two  ways;  either  by  paying 
to  the  writer  a  percentage  of  the  proceeds,  or  by  direct 
purchase. 

Much  of  this  syndicate  work  is  especially  arranged  for 
by  the  managers  with  writers  who  are  practiced  in  pro- 
ducing "catchy"  stuff.  The  material  used  is  not  of  the 
solid  magazine  quality  that  was  formerly  demanded. 

The  compensation,  except  to  well  known  writers  is 
not  usually  very  liberal.  And  it  must  be  borne  in  mind 
that  the  expense  in  time,  labor,  postage,  and  stationery 
required  for  the  sending  out  of  such  brief  bits  absorbs 
a  large  portion  of  the  proceeds;  consequently,  we  do  not 
feel  that  this  is  a  field  greatly  to  attract  the  general  writer. 

Second:  A  number  of  metropolitan  newspapers  con- 
duct their  own  syndicates  in  the  following  manner:  They 
buy  in  the  ordinary  course  of  their  work  material  for  their 
special  Saturday  or  Sunday  magazine  section.  Using 
this  themselves,  they  offer  it  also  to  various  other  news- 
papers with  a  release  date  to  correspond  with  their  own 
date  of  publication.  The  material  used  is  practically 
of  the  same  sort  as  that  described  above,  but  is  possibly 
of  a  rather  more  stable  quality.  As  a  rule,  writers  who 
can  make  connection  with  one  of  these  newspapers 


SYNDICATES  AND  SYNDICATING  121 

would  be  apt  to  fare  rather  better  than  if  depending  upon 
the  class  of  syndicates  first  named. 

There  are  also  other  branches  of  syndicate  work. 
Many  publishers  arrange  with  newspapers  to  publish 
novels  in  serial  form.  These  are  always  copyrighted 
work,  and  may  be  new  fiction  just  going  to  press,  or  that 
just  has  appeared;  or  old  fiction  upon  which  the  copy- 
right is  still  in  effect.  Sometimes  these  novels  are  edited 
or  briefed  for  newspaper  use  so  as  to  make  a  story  of 
quicker  action  and  more  sensational  style  than  in  the  orig- 
inal form. 

Still  another  branch  is  that  where  the  author  syndicates 
his  own  work.  This  may  be  done  profitably  if  the  writer 
has  really  good  newspaper  material,  knows  how  properly 
to  present  it  to  editors,  and  has  sufficient  capital  and 
perseverance  to  make  a  thorough  effort.  Before  under- 
taking this,  however,  it  would  be  well  for  the  author  to 
obtain  some  knowledge  of  how  a  syndicate  proposition 
is  handled,  the  price  he  should  ask  for  his  material,  the 
field  that  he  should  attempt  to  cover,  etc. 

It  must  be  kept  in  mind  that  the  majority  of  the  syndi- 
cates, and  of  the  individual  newspapers  as  well,  confine 
themselves  largely  to  brief  and  catchy  stuff  intended  more 
to  attract  the  eye  than  the  mind. 

Now  having  shown  the  difficulties  in  the  way  of  syndi- 
cating, and  having  endeavored  to  disabuse  the  minds  of 
writers  of  fallacies  regarding  this  field  of  work,  we  append 
a  brief  list  of  syndicates,  of  newspapers  syndicating  their 
own  material,  and  of  individual  newspapers  that  might 
be  open  to  arrangements  with  the  individual  writer.

NEWSPAPERS:  WHICH  MAY  BUY 

INDIVIDUAL  OR  SYNDICATED 

CONTRIBUTIONS 

Not  all  newspapers  use  syndicate  material,  and  not 
all  buy  individual  contributions.  But  it  safely  may  be 
said  that  all  daily  newspapers  in  cities  of  fifty  thousand 
or  more  inhabitants  may  buy  material  either  syndicated 
or  individual.  Consequently,  writers  who  wish  to  syndi- 
cate their  own  stuff  have  a  wide  field  in  which  to  operate. 
For  their  use  we  append  herewith  a  list  of  the  more  prom- 


SYNDICATES  AND  SYNDICATING  125 

inent  newspapers  of  the  country.  We  do  not  assert  that 
all  these  buy  miscellaneous  contributions,  but  the  majority 
of  them  will  do  so  if  anything  is  offered  that  they  want. 

Writers  who  are  offering  work  individually  to  news- 
papers (not  attempting  to  syndicate  it)  will  do  well  first 
to  endeavor  to  form  connection  with  papers  of  their  own 
section.  While  the  needs  of  these,  if  in  comparatively 
small  cities,  will  not  be  as  great  as  the  needs  of  the  large 
metropolitan  journals,  it  is  to  be  remembered  that  they 
do  not  have  so  much  stuff  offered  and  so  the  chances  for 
acceptance  are  even  better. 

Most  syndicates  do  not  care  to  consider  single  manu- 
scripts or  occasional  contributions.  Series  of  short  arti- 
cles, each  seldom  more  than  1,000  words  in  length,  short 
feature  material  like  bed-time  stories,  health,  new-thought, 
or  inspirational  essays,  cartoons,  comics,  etc.,  not  less 
than  twelve  to  a  series,  are  in  demand.  Arrangements 
for  most  syndicate  material  are  made  in  advance,  so  that 
writers  having  syndicate  work  in  mind  should  explain 
their  plans,  sending  at  the  same  time  a  sample  article  or 
two.  Syndicates  often  desire  a  commission  arrangement, 
in  which  case  the  author  usually  receives  50  per  cent,  of  the 
gross  receipts. 

AMERICAN  DAILY  STANDARD,  215  W.  Superior

THE  TRADE  PRESS 


In  order  to  give  a  clear  idea  of  the  scope  of  trade  papers 
and  the  field  that  they  offer  to  writers  we  will  quote  briefly 
from  Mr.  Frank  Farrington's  standard  book  on  this  sub- 
ject, "Writing  for  the  Trade  Press"  (published  by  James 
Knapp  Reeve,  Franklin,  Ohio). 

"In  the  classification  Trade  Press'  are  included  all 
sorts  of  technical  and  business  periodicals  and  many  class 
journals.  These  cover  practically  all  forms  of  manufac- 
turing, buying  and  selling  —  essentially  the  field  of  busi- 
ness. There  are  between  seven  hundred  and  eight 
hundred  so-called  trade  papers  in  the  United  States,  with 
a  large  additional  number  in  Canada,  which  are  available 
as  a  market  for  the  writer  in  either  country. 

"There  is  scarcely  a  branch  of  business  activity  that 
does  not  have  its  own  periodicals.  The  trade  press  covers 
a  wide  field  of  publishing  interests  not  generally  known  to 
the  writer  devoting  his  attention  strictly  to  the  field  of 
popular  literature. 

"For  the  man  or  woman  who  likes  to  write  here  is  a  field 
that  offers  steady  employment  at  satisfactory  rates  with 
the  decided  advantage  for  the  one  who  has  had  experience 
in  general  literary  work.  The  writer  who  has  mastered 
the  technique  of  literary  construction  and  who  is  willing 
to  go  into  the  practical  work  connected  with  some  line  of 
business  has  an  opportunity  to  become  so  superior  a  trade 
paper  worker  as  to  be  able  to  reach  the  top  in  that  line  of 
work,  when  the  same  amount  of  effort  and  ability  might 
not  make  him  even  a  recognized  regular  contributor  to  a 
literary  publication.

"There  is  a  demand  here,  a  very  real  demand,  for  people 
who  know  how  to  write,  who  understand  the  business 
represented  by  the  trade  paper  for  which  they  want  to 
work. 

"The  trade  press  market  is  a  great  and  a  growing  mar- 
ket, and  offers  a  satisfactory  return  for  intelligent  effort 
and  a  permanent  field  for  the  writer  who  finds  himself 
able  to  meet  the  demands  of  editors  in  the  technical  class." 

In  the  lists  below  no  attempt  has  been  made  to  cover 
the  whole  field.  We  give  representative  journals  in  var- 
ious classes  with  a  brief  indication  of  the  material  used. 
We  wish  to  emphasize  the  fact  that  a  writer  should  famil- 
iarize himself  with  the  publication  to  which  he  wishes  to 
contribute.  The  best  success  will  be  found  by  working 
along  one  definite  line;  preferably,  of  course,  the  line  with 
which  the  writer  is  familiar.  But  a  writer  of  ready  intel- 
ligence and  quick  perception  will  find  himself  easily  get- 
ting in  touch  with  other  lines,  and  thus  be  able  to  build  up 
a  wide  and  profitable  clientele  among  these  journals. 

EXPERIENCES  IN  WRITING 
FOR  THE  TRADE  PRESS 

The  trade  paper  field  has  been  aptly  termed  the  "liter- 
ary kindergarten;"  nevertheless  there  are  certain  rules 
and  regulations  even  in  a  "kindergarten"  that  must  be 
learned,  either  through  personal  experience  or  through 
the  experiences  and  mistakes  of  those  who  have,  by  slow 
degrees,  passed  into  the  "first  reader"  class. 

In  writing  for  the  trade  press  the  first  "lesson"  to  be 
learned  is :  Have  something  definite  to  say !  For,  whether 
a  trade  paper  appeals  to  business  men  in  general  or  to 
some  one  class  in  particular,  the  editors  are  a  unit  in 
seeking  to  give  their  readers,  not  an  abstract,  preachy 


144     THE  NEW  1001  PLACES  TO  SELL  MANUSCRIPTS 

essay  on  "Success  In  Business,"  but  a  concrete  example 
of  Bill  Smith's  success  in  clearing  out  his  surplus  refrig- 
erators in  January  to  make  room  for  his  spring  stock  of 
sporting  goods.  A  clear  photograph  of  Bill  pulling  off 
this  clever  stunt  lends  an  air  of  reality  to  the  story  and 
greatly  enhances  the  value  of  the  idea. 

Druggists,  furniture  dealers  — in  fact  merchants  in 
every  line  —  look  to  their  favorite  trade  papers  for 
examples  of  easier,  better,  more  profitable  ways  of  hand- 
ling their  business;  and  they  want  to  read  common-sense 
ideas,  boiled  down  and  told  in  a  practical  way  with  dollars- 
and-cents  results.  Everybody  wants  to  be  successful; 
everybody  wants  (and  most  folks  need)  to  make  more 
money;  so  the  "how"  and  "why"  of  the  other  fellow's  suc- 
cess is  always  in  demand  if  only  you  understand  your 
markets. 

In  seeking  entrance  to  the  trade  paper  field,  for  either 
steady  or  part-time  work,  the  big  thing  is  to  get  a  start 
with  a  few  of  the  better  class  publications.  Keep  send- 
ing to  them  regularly  each  month  until  their  editors  get 
to  know  you  and  expect  you.  Writing  thus  with  a  defi- 
nite periodical  in  mind  greatly  increases  the  chances  of 
acceptance. 

Do  not  scorn  ah  appointment  as  "representative"  for 
a  trade  journal  in  your  locality.  It  means  more  than  it 
says.  It  means  that  your  manuscripts  will  be  considered 
before  those  of  writers  who  are  not  regular  contributors. 
Just  as  a  grocer  depends  upon  his  regular  customers  to 
pay  his  rent  and  overhead,  so  does  the  editor  prefer 
those  regular  contributors  on  whom  he  can  depend. 

GATHERING  MATERIAL 

The  local  merchants'  daily  newspaper  ads  form  a  pro- 
lific source  of  material  for  the  trade  press,  and  in  fol- 


TRADE  JOURNALS  145 

lowing  up  these  tips  the  alert  writer  is  sure  to  unearth 
other  good  ideas  for  additional  articles.  Keep  an  eagle 
eye  on  the  windows  of  the  retail  merchants,  their  store 
service,  store  arrangement,  unusual  side-lines,  etc.  The 
writer  for  the  trade  press  would  do  well,  also,  to  cultivate 
the  acquaintance  of  the  advertising  managers  in  his  home- 
town stores.  Their  business  is  to  get  all  the  free  public- 
ity they  can  for  their  employers,  and  they  will  be  glad 
to  explain  the  idea  back  of  a  certain  advertising  campaign, 
together  with  its  results  —  financial  and  otherwise. 

Do  not  rush  frantically  into  print  with  each  small  item, 
fearing  that  it  may  get  away;  experience  will  teach  you 
that  a  half-dozen  related  ideas  bring  a  much  better  price 
if  grouped  in  one  article  than  if  sold  separately. 

For  gathering  ideas,  keep  a  number  of  large  envelopes 
marked:  "Grocery,"  "Drugs,"  "Hardware,"  "General," 
etc.  Each  day  while  the  matter  is  fresh  in  mind,  drop 
into  the  proper  envelope  any  unusual  advertisement 
clipped  from  the  morning  paper;  or  a  leaf  from  a  penny- 
pad  on  which  is  jotted  a  salesmanship  idea,  or  some  unus- 
ual service  rendered  in  a  store  that  day;  in  fact  anything 
about  a  store  that  strikes  you  as  unusual. 

Then  when  six  or  eight  ideas  or  items  have  accumu- 
lated in  —  say  —  the  "Grocer"  envelope,  go  shopping. 
And  as  your  butter  and  pancake-flour  are  being  wrapped, 
casually  ask:  "Mr.  S — ,  how  do  you  1  ke  your  new  dough- 
nut machine?  You  must  sell  around  a  hundred  dozen 
each  day,  don't  you?  And  do  you  find  that  it  stimulates 
trade  in  other  lines— say  coffee?"  Or  —  "Mr.  W— ,  I 
see  you  advertise  motor  oil.  Certainly  that  is  an  unusual 
side-line  for  the  grocery!  How  did  you  ever  think  of 
stocking  that?"  Imagine  the  expansive  smile  on  the 
face  of  Mr.  Grocer  —  or  Mr.  Head  Clerk  —  as  he  relates 
his  little  successes!  If  he  knew  they  were  to  appear  later 


146     THE  NEW  1001  PLACES  TO  SELL  MANUSCRIPTS 

in  print  he  might  get  stage  fright,  so  why  tell  him?  Be 
merely  "interested,"  and  praise  the  idea  in  a  tactful 
way,  and  the  information  always  will  come. 

A  large,  labeled  envelope  for  each  class  of  material 
keeps  similar  ideas  together,  and  it  is  much  more  sat- 
isfactory than  a  general  notebook,  where  one  must  search 
the  pages  for  related  items.  It  is  a  good  idea  to  save 
the  clipped  newspaper  ads,  even  after  the  article  is  written, 
for  the  editors  have  an  uncanny  way  of  asking  for  proof. 

AIDS  TO  ACCEPTANCE 

How  can  one  study  the  trade  papers  to  get  a  line  on 
their  policy  when  they  are  not  on  sale  at  news  stands? 
Send  say  ten  cents  with  a  request  for  any  back  number. 
Then  submit  an  article  (or  two  or  three)  until  one  is 
accepted.  Soon  the  editor  will  send  copies,  or  put  you 
on  the  free  contributors'  list.  The  busy  editor  is  coming 
to  realize  that  it  saves  his  time  when  a  contributor 
knows  what  has  already  been  used  and  thus  avoids  the 
hit-and-miss  submission  of  manuscripts. 

Querying  the  trade  paper  editor  is  an  excellent  idea  if 
tactfully  done,  and  you  will  find  him  open  to  suggestion 
if  you  have  anything  to  offer.  Always  enclose  stamped, 
addressed  envelope  and  you  will  seldom  fail  to  receive  a 
courteous  reply.  If  the  editor  says  he  is  interested  in 
the  outline  of  the  artic  e  suggested,  send  it  to  him  with 
a  short  note  referring  to  his  approval  of  the  outline. 
This  note  recalls  the  details  to  his  mind  and  serves  as  a 
sort  of  introduction,  and  he  probably  thinks:  "Yes,  the 
outline  sounded  interesting.  Let's  see  what  the  article 
has  to  offer."  Much  postage  and  time  are  saved  by 
querying  the  editor  in  advance,  and  often  his:  "Sounds 
interesting.  Let's  have  a  look  at  it,"  practically  means 
an  acceptance. 


TRADE  JOURNALS  147 

Either  a  good  camera  or  the  services  of  a  commercial 
photographer  is  essential  in  writing  for  the  trade  press, 
as  few  articles  nowadays  will  sell  without  illustrations. 
The  commercial  photographer  and  the  writer  can  often 
work  together  to  their  mutual  advantage. 

Beware  of  letting  your  imagination  run  riot  in  —  for 
instance  —  describing  unique  display  racks  in  a  certain 
grocery  store,  or  a  druggist's  window  trim  that  sold 
1000  rolls  of  film  in  one  afternoon.  For  the  editor  to 
whom  the  ideas  are  submitted  is  likely  to  come  back 
with  this:  "We  shall  be  glad  to  use  your  two  articles, 
provided  you  can  supply  photographs  of  the  devices  you 
have  described."  Then  what?  Since  imaginary  things 
cannot  be  photographed,  there  is  another  sale  lost. 
"Facts  always,  fancy  never,"  is  a  good  slogan  for  the 
trade  paper  writer. 

SIMPLIFIED  ACCOUNTS 
Reduce  your  book-keeping  to  three  simple  essentials: 
(1)  a  day-book  listing  each  day's  output,  with  name  of 
manuscript  and  name  of  market;  (2)  a  small  cash  book 
that  needs  no  explanation;  and  (3)  a  number  of  the  cheap- 
est kind  of  eleven-inch  envelopes.  The  envelope  beats 
the  card  index  system  in  that  it  includes  both  the  card 
index  and  a  receptacle  for  the  manuscript  while  it  is 
"at  home."  Indexed  on  the  back  and  filed  alphabetic- 
ally in  a  drawer  you  have  simple  but  complete  data  in 
the  same  place  with  the  manuscript. 

The  envelope  may  be  lettered  on  the  face,  near  one 
end:

thing new  to  offer  that  is  of  interest  to  the  automobile

SPORTSMAN'S  REVIEW,  15  West  6th  St.,  Cincin-

both  stories  and  articles  in  line  with  these  topics. 

SPORTS  AFIELD,  542  S.  Dearborn  St.,  Chicago: 
Monthly.  "The  love  element  must  be  only  incidental 
in  stories;  no  overdrawn  sentiment.  Adventure  stories 
are  desired;  'real  true-to-life-type'  adventure  is  welcomed. 
Novels  and  serials  may  be  used  in  the  form  of  a  good 
continued  story  of  frontier  life,  or  ranch  life,  or  life  in 
the  pioneer  days;  but  must  be  the  work  of  an  author 
who  knows  the  country,  the  people  and  the  atmosphere. 
Good  anecdotes  with  a  homely  or  field  and  forest  flavor 
are  used.  The  setting  may  be  Western,  Southern,  far 
Northwestern,  Mexican,  South  American  or  that  of 
any  other  country  the  author  knows  and  loves.  Short 
tragedy  is  also  used.  We  like  pictures,  but  a  strong 
article  unillustrated  is  better  than  a  weak  one  abounding 
in  photographs.  Travel  articles,  rightly  done,  are  always 
in  demand.  Little  hope  for  articles  about  prominent 
people  unless  they  have  the  outdoor  flavor.  Especially

VERSE-MAKING  AND 
MARKETS  FOR  POETRY 


We  would  not  counsel  any  one  to  venture  upon  verse 
making  as  a  means  of  subsistence.  The  occasional  rare 
individual,  like  the  Bentztown  Bard  of  the  Baltimore 
"Sun,"  or  Walt  Mason,  or  Guest,  will  go  ahead  and 
succeed  in  spite  of  advice  to  the  contrary.  Verse  making 
as  a  side  line  for  such  as  have  talent  and  passion  for  it 
is  another  matter.  Yet  poetry,  in  any  real  sense,  is  a 
jealous  master  and  demands  all  before  granting  its  highest 
rewards.  Most  of  the  well  known  poets  have  found  it 
necessary  to  have  another  occupation  in  addition  to  their 
first  choice,  as  Longfellow  held  a  professorship,  Lowell 
a  professor  and  editor,  and  Bryant  was  editor  of  a  daily 
newspaper.  While  Kipling's  verse  has  almost  unparal- 
leled popularity,  it  is  probable  his  income  would  be  com- 
paratively scant  without  his  prose. 

The  prices  paid  by  magazines  and  newspapers  for 
poetry  are  in  most  instances  relatively  small,  astonishingly 
so  beside  the  remuneration  for  stories.  Very  famous 
poets,  of  course,  sometimes  obtain  considerable  sums 
for  single  poems.  The  verse  makers  who  are  able  to 
syndicate  their  product  on  a  large  scale  total  good  sums. 

On  the  other  hand,  now  and  then,  a  single  poem  makes 
a  man  famous  and  opens  the  way  for  more  verses,  for 
prose  and  for  platform  work.  This  was  true  in  the 
instances  of  Strickland  Gillilan  with  "Finnigin,"  of 
Edwin  Markham  with  "The  Man  with  the  Hoe,"  and 

201 


202      THE  NEW  1001  PLACES  TO  SELL  MANUSCRIPTS 

of  Vachol  Lindsay  with  "General  William  Booth  Enters 
Heaven." 

There  are  other  satisfactions  and  rewards,  in  uttering 
musically  what  moves  you  deeply,  and  in  "finding  the 
song  in  the  heart  of  a  friend." 

As  to  themes,  Carlyle's  dictum  holds  true  for  verse  as 
well  as  prose,  that  "any  subject  can  bemadeinsteresting." 
But  many  subjects  require  a  superior  mind  to  make 
them  interesting,  or  they  require  that  some  deep  expe- 
rience of  the  writer  shall  have  made  the  subject  vital 
for  him.  Strickland  Gillilan  versifies  largely  on  the 
family  affections,  one  of  the  oldest  and  most  common- 
place themes,  but  he  writes  directly  out  of  his  own  heart 
of  his  feelings  for  his  own  household,  and  so  he  touches 
a  universal  chord. 

In  general,  the  high  class  magazines  use  poems  on 
universal  themes,  rather  than  current  ones,  and  these 
must  be  treated  with  distinction.  Lesser  magazines 
avail  themselves  of  both  universal  and  timely  subjects. 
Newspapers  give  more  space  to  timely  subjects,  without 
excluding  altogether  those  of  permanent  interest.  In 
all  cases,  save  in  backwoods  publications,  the  workman- 
ship must  be  good,  if  not  excellent  or  distinguished. 
Poems  that  reveal  genuine  feeling  for  aspects  of  nature, 
and  are  happy  in  phrasing,  make  as  wide  an  appeal  as 
any. 

In  spite  of  the  considerable  vogue  of  free  verse,  most 
verse  writers  find  it  safer  to  employ  the  accepted  forms. 
Good  free  verse  is  doubly  difficult  to  create,  and  has 
laws  of  its  own,  not  always  discoverable  by  amateurs. 

The  markets  for  verse  are  at  present  by  no  means 
satisfactory.  A  large  number  of  newspapers  do  not 
pay  for  poetry.  Many  of  these  print  verse  submitted 
through  the  mails  without  inquiring  if  the  writer  expects 


VERSE-MAKING  208 

payment.  Other  noted  newspapers  reprint  poems  from 
other  journals  and  add  insult  to  injury  by  omitting  the 
names  of  the  authors,  thus  robbing  them  of  their  meed 
of  reputation.  Relatively  few  even  of  the  great  daily 
newspaper  regularly  use  poems  that  they  have  paid  for. 

Few  of  the  religious  publications  remunerate  the 
verse  makers,  except  by  a  subscription.  Certain  of  the 
agricultural  papers  use  poetry  and  pay  small  sums  for 
it.  Some  of  the  technical  journals  pay  for  verses  that 
bear  in  some  degree  on  their  specialty.  The  better  class 
of  young  peoples'  papers  use  and  pay  for  verses  suited  to 
their  readers. 

Following  is  a  list  of  publications  that  use  verse.  While 
no  attempt  has  been  made  to  include  every  possible 
publication,  the  list  is  sufficient  to  provide  a  market  for 
any  really  good  and  salable  poetry.

They  may  be  so  technical  as  to  require  diagrams  or  they

benefit  to  themselves.  The  same  principles  obtain  in 
our  special  departments  but  necessarily  these  articles 
must  deal  directly  with  the  field  covered  by  those  depart-

clever  window  displays  and  in  pictures  of  attractive

NEW  MAGAZINES 


The  following  is  a  list  of  new  magazines  which  as  yet 
have  not  had  time  to  prove  their  hold  upon  the  reading 
public,  and  consequently  it  is  impossible  for  us  to  give 
any  definite  assurance  that  they  will  still  be  in  the  mar- 
ket for  material  by  the  time  this  book  is  off  the  press. 
Every  magazine  has  to  start  sometime  and  so  we  are 
watching  these  with  interest.  In  sending  manuscripts 
for  consideration  writers  should  bear  in  mind  that  the 
rate  of  remuneration  will  probably  not  be  high,  but  that 
those  sending  in  acceptable  materia1  will  be  remembered 
and  welcomed  from  time  to  time.

HOUSE  ORGANS 


A  field  somewhat  neglected  by  the  average  writer  is 
that  described  in  the  following  pages,  the  field  of  the 
Commercial  House  Organ.  There  is  an  almost  endless 
list  of  these,  as  practically  every  great  industrial  concern, 
public  utility  company  and  large  mercantile  house  issues 
such  a  publication  either  for  distribution  among  its  employ- 
ees, or  for  the  public  at  large. 

House  organs  have  a  very  definite  purpose  which  has 
been  summed  up  as  follows: 

(1)  To  stimulate  the  morale  of  the  working  force. 

(2)  To  tell  the  firm's  own  story  in  its  own  way. 

(3)  To  humanize  a  great  industrial  plant. 

(4)  To  keep  dealers  posted  on  live  issues. 

To  cover  these  points  they  use  not  only  practical 
material,  that  of  an  informative  nature,  but  most  of 
them  use  miscellany  in  the  way  of  little  stories,  verses, 
jokes,  etc.,  intended  to  please  their  readers  and  act  as 
a  foil  to  the  purely  business  and  practical  articles. 

Their  wants  are  as  varied  as  would  be  those  of  an  equal 
number  of  publications  of  general  literature.  The  list 
following,  with  descriptive  paragraphs  of  individual  needs, 
is  intended  to  be  suggestive  only.  Added  to  these  we 
give  a  list  consisting  only  of  the  names  of  the  journals 
and  their  publishers.  It  would  be  well  for  writers  who 
wish  to  follow  this  line  of  work  to  secure  and  to  make 
a  careful  study  of  as  many  of  these  journals  as  is  possible. 
The  majority  of  them  pay  fairly  liberal  rates  and  are 
prompt  and  courteous  in  their  treatment  of  writers.

SUPPLEMENTARY  LIST 

The  following  supplementary  list  of  House  Organs  is 
not  intended  to  be  complete,  but  to  afford  a  suggestion 
of  the  many  diverse  lines  of  business  that  engage  in 
such  publishing  enterprises.  It  should  be  remembered 
that  these  publications  do  not  as  a  rule  confine  themselves 
to  merely  practical,  technical  and  statistical  articles 
connected  with  the  lines  of  business  that  they  represent, 
but  that  many  of  them  use  short  articles  of  general 
information,  humorous  sketches,  jokes  and  other  mis- 
cellany designed  to  lighten  and  make  attractive  their 
pages.  A  request  for  a  sample  copy  will  almost  always 
be  honored,  and  by  studying  the  material  used  a  writer 
can  easily  determine  what  sort  of  offerings  would  likely 
be  acceptable.

BOOK  PUBLISHERS 


The  endeavor  has  been  to  have  this  a  list  of  publishers 
of  standing.  A  publishing  agreement  entered  into  with 
any  one  of  the  following  houses  will  necessarily  be  fulfilled 
to  the  equal  advantage  of  both  author  and  publisher.  A 
publisher  is  successful  only  in  degree  as  the  books  he  adds 
to  his  list  appeal  to  the  reading  public  and  sell.  The 
author  who  cooperates  with  his  publisher  will  find  that 
he  is  working  side  by  side  with  a  business  man  who  is  as 
much  concerned  with  the  literary  value  of  his  product  as 
with  the  commercial.  No  man's  judgment  is  certain. 
If  a  publisher  fails  to  sell  a  fabulous  number  of  one  of 
your  books  do  not  hasten  to  his  neighbor  with  the  man- 
uscript of  your  next  book.  Better  have  six  books  in  the 
list  of  one  publisher  than  one  book  in  each  of  six  dif- 
ferent lists.  Your  royalties  will  increase  by  geometric 
progression  as  the  number  of  your  books  in  one  publisher's 
list  increases.  And  it  looks  much  better. 

Manuscripts  of  books  are  best  sent  by  express.  It  is 
not  necessary  to  supply  a  return  addressed  envelope, 
though  large,  gussetted  envelopes  of  stout  paper  are 
easily  obtained.  Ask  that  the  manuscript  be  returned, 
if  unaccepted,  by  express  with  charges  collect. 

Most  book  publishers  use  all  kinds  of  material  and  of 
all  lengths.  To  expect  a  publisher  to  state  his  require- 
ments exactly  is  preposterous.  "The  books  we  must 
desire  to  issue  in  the  future  are  'good'  books."  This 
epitomizes  the  statements  of  leading  publishers.  It  will 
profit  writers  to  familiarize  themselves  with  the  output 

236 


BOOK  PUBLISHERS  237 

of  different  publishing  houses  to  the  end  that  they  may 
know  which  publishers  are  accustomed  to  issue  books 
with  which  the  manuscript  it  is  desired  to  "place"  is  in 
keeping.  But  it  should  be  noted  that  the  quality  most 
in  demand  is  that  of  novelty.  A  publisher  often  will  be 
interested  in  a  manuscript  because  he  has  no  similar 
book  in  his  list. 

Writers  of  fiction,  especially  those  not  of  established 
reputation,  often  are  subjected  to  much  discouragement 
in  their  efforts  to  find  a  publisher  for  manuscripts  of 
book  length.  There  are  a  great  number  of  throughly 
reliable  houses  which  publish  novels  on  royalty  agree- 
ments; but  a  work  that  will  be  acceptable  to  one  house 
may  not  at  all  fit  into  the  needs  of  another;  and  the 
judgment  of  publishers  as  to  the  value  of  a  certain  work 
will  differ  widely.  For  instance,  it  is  well  known  that 
one  of  the  most  successful  books  of  recent  years  - 
David  Harum  —  was  rejected  by  six  houses.  Accepted 
finally,  it  proved  how  fallible  the  judgment  of  even 
experienced  publishers  might  be. 

Usually  a  considerable  time  is  required  for  the  examina- 
tion of  a  book  manuscript;  from  three  weeks  to  six  weeks 
is  about  the  shortest  time  in  which  an  answer  can  be 
expected.  Oftener  a  manuscript  will  be  held  two  or 
three  months  for  examination,  and  we  have  known  a 
year  to  pass  before  a  definite  answer  was  given. 

When  we  consider  that  it  may  be  necessary  for  a 
writer  to  offer  his  work  to  a  half  dozen  or  a  dozen  pub- 
lishers before  finding  the  right  one,  and  that  this  may 
entail  delays  covering  two  or  three  years,  it  is  apparent 
that  a  writer  should  use  every  possible  means  in  advance 
to  discover  whether  his  work  is  in  line  with  the  needs  of 
the  house  to  which  it  is  to  be  submitted.  This  can  be 
determined  by  getting  the  advice  of  some  experienced 


238     THE  NEW  1001  PLACES  TO  SELL  MANUSCRIPTS 

author,  or  by  securing  catalogues  of  the  different  pub- 
lishers and  studying  carefully  the  classes  of  work  which 
they  are  putting  out.  A  little  time  and  care  spent  in 
this  manner  may  serve  to  avoid  long,  vexatious  delays.

HARPER  &  BROTHERS,  Franklin  Square,  New 
York:  "Like  most  publishers,  we  haven't  any  fixed 
rules  about  kinds  of  manuscripts  or  length.  Certain 
general  restrictions,  however,  might  be  cited.  Generally 
speaking,  we  do  not  publish  books  of  a  controversial 
nature,  or  books  on  sporting  subjects,  or  on  the  stage. 
Our  serious  books  are  not  of  a  technical  nature.  We  do 
not  frequently  publish  books  of  verse  and  are  not  in 
position  to  encourage  this  kind  of  material.  We  are

always  anxious  to  see  the  manuscripts  of  juveniles, 
whether  designed  for  the  very  youngest  or  older  readers. 
The  ideal  length  is  a  little  hard  to  define  because  some- 
times a  bright  new  kind  of  story  in  its  first  writing  might 
be  entirely  too  short,  or  again  much  too  verbose  or  wordy. 
As  to  fiction,  the  same  policy  roughly  holds  true.  We 
are  very  glad  to  receive  and  examine  manuscripts  of 
novels,  and  publish  a  great  many  different  types.  Here 
again,  we  seldom  or  never  feel  that  we  can  publish  a  novel 
of  a  controversial  nature.  We  are  very  loath  to  fix  any 
definite  limits  or  restrictions  on  what  we,  as  a  house, 
would  like  to  receive  in  the  way  of  manuscripts,  for 
sometimes  the  very  best,  newest  and  freshest  would  thus 
be  ruled  out."  Harper  &  Brothers'  catalogue,  a  book 
of  more  than  three  hundred  pages,  has  eight  main  classi- 
fications: History  and  Biography,  Travel  and  Descrip-

or  not.  We  are  in  receipt  of  manuscripts  frequently

practically  every  nature  except  text-books  and  technical 
books  such  as  law  books  and  scientific  works  having  a 
very  narrow  appeal.  Among  the  most  prominent  feat- 
ures of  our  line  are  fiction,  books  on  art,  hygiene,  sociology, 
travel  and  books  for  children.  It  is  impossible  to  make 
any  general  statement  as  to  the  desirable  length  of  man- 
uscripts. That  depends  entirely  upon  the  requirements 
of  the  individual  case."

erature, poetry  and  science.  "It  begs  to  state  that  it 
accepts  for  examination,  with  a  view  to  publication, 
manuscripts  which  in  the  opinion  of  the  Council's  Com- 
mittee on  Publications  of  Yale  University  tend  to  advance 
the  interest  of  American  scholarship.  This  condition 
would  practically  exclude  works  of  pure  fiction.  E.  D.

GREETING  CARDS, 
VERSES,  ETC. 


There  is  a  considerable  market  for  material  of  this 
sort,  and  it  embraces  all  kinds  from  grave  to  gay.  The 
use  of  greeting  and  anniversary  cards  is  constantly  grow- 
ing, and  most  of  the  houses  that  specialize  in  this  material 
treat  contributors  with  great  courtesy  and  pay  well  for 
the  verse  accepted.  Many  versifiers  find  this  a  more 
profitable  field  to  cultivate  than  that  of  the  periodicals. 
But  remember  that  only  short  verse  is  wanted,  usually 
two  or  four  lines  —  sometimes  a  little  more. 

Buyers  of  greeting  card  verse  are  paying  more  atten- 
tion to  the  character  and  quality  of  the  work  than  was 
formerly  the  case.  Verses  with  halting  meter,  imper- 
fect rhymes,  or  verses  that  do  not  clearly  express  some 
definite  thought  in  attractive  poetic  form  have  little 
chance  of  acceptance. 

Writers  should  keep  in  mind  also  that  it  is  not  merely 
the  great  holidays  for  which  greeting  cards  are  now 
used;  but  that  they  cover  an  almost  endless  procession 
of  special  days  and  events.  Beginning  with  the  first 
day  of  the  year,  the  holidays  came  in  regular  procession 
until  the  twenty-fifth  of  December  is  reached;  but  in 
between  come  Birthdays,  Commencements,  Confirma- 
tions, Vacation  cards,  Hospital  condolences,  Bon  Voyage 
cards  and  others. 

A  writer  who  is  giving  attention  to  this  work  can  take 
up  a  new  phase  of  it  each  month  in  the  year,  and  if  fol-
